The writing group that Carole and Liberty belong to had a homework this month to write a Villanelle. It's a very specific kind of poem, written to both a repeating line structure and a rhyming pattern. (If you go read Liberty's villanelle she explains it properly at the start.) --More--

That damned human affliction,
Missing someone like an addiction,
The cure's quite simple,
Like bursting a pimple,
Hug them, hold them, repetition. --More--

Into the past,
with our regrets and tears,
and our successes and cheers. --More--

Screaming ghouls and scary monsters,
Permeating our subconscious,
At night they roam freely through our dreams,
With the sole intent of causing our screams,
Scaring us until we awake,
Annoyingly, for we know they are fake.

You and me,
Quietly,
Watching the rain in the stars,
From a bubble near Mars.
